Hey everyone, it sure has been a busy past few days.
In my last journal, I had mentioned that the band and I were heading on the bus to Jacksonville, FL. We had a show at the Landing, which is located along the northbank of the St. Johns River. It was beautiful! We entertained a crowd of about 7 thousand people. We did a 45-minute set to a very energized crowd. It was really great! I would say the only downfall of the evening was the fact that we got so much rain. Things started to flood over, including our band gear. After the show, we all spent time drying off our guitars and foot pedals. It wasn't exactly a pretty scene.
From there, we all headed back to the hotel and parked the bus in the hotel parking lot. Big Dave, our bus driver, stayed in a room at the hotel while the rest of us stayed on the bus. It made more sense for us to do this because we had a 5:30 a.m. departure the next morning to go from the hotel to the airport. The next morning, we hopped on a Southwest plane to Las Vegas. Yes, the city of lights… We all love going there! I do not gamble… I just really enjoy walking the Las Vegas strip and seeing all the lights and amazing hotels.
Yesterday, the band and I did a show at the Las Vegas Speedway. It was my first time being at a track like that. We played in the center garage part of the track, where they had a stage set up and everything. After the show, we waited for the Limo to come and get us to take us back to the hotel. This wasn't any ordinary kind of limo though, no, it was a 30-sum foot truck limo. The driver said it was like 1 of 20 in the entire world. We all had the rest of the evening off and some of us I'm sure went to gamble and have fun, but I on the other hand was wiped out and decided to go back to the room and chill.
That brings us to today. I just woke up like an hour ago and we have the day off. I think we're gonna go race dune buggies in the desert sand and you never know, maybe even go catch a Vegas show this evening. Other than that, that's what we've been up to the last few days. Take care guys and I'll be in touch. God Bless!
